Supporting Children in Shelter<br />
Entering shelter is often<br />
traumatic for children.<br />
Although many younger<br />
children don’t comprehend<br />
that they are in a shelter<br />
and happily engage with<br />
our friendly volunteers...<br />
...being in shelter is<br />
often emotionally<br />
difficult for middle and<br />
high schoolers.<br />
Children this age often<br />
do not want to interact<br />
with volunteers and<br />
will retreat to their<br />
rooms. Respect their<br />
need for privacy.<br />
